"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Nice soft light and colors. Good use of the shadows to pull the viewer into the image.

Fantastic, Russ. That application of shadow in anchoring your image is perfect - the effect - a stellar and very engaging image. Well done!
